Isolation and characterization of mutants defective in production of laccase in Neurospora crassa.

Abstract excerpt

A protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide, induces excretion of laccase in Neurospora crassa. The lah-1 mutation results in excretion of a large amount of laccase even in the absence of cycloheximide. Ten mutations were induced that suppress derepressed excretion of laccase in the lah-1 mutant. Of these, seven second-site mutations were found to confer a laccase-noninducible phenotype, and were classified into...
